Did some research on the galaxy note, looks like a pretty sweet phone, I currently own an iPhone 4s and although I said I would never go iPhone, it's not that bad. However, I would rather have a phone with android.
According to me The Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the best and much better android smartphone with an outstanding features such as bigger display with touch screen, excellent battery back up, nice camera quality, supported to 16GB, 32GB, 64GB external memory micro SD card, very thinner, dual core processor, SMS, MMS, IM, android v2.3 operating system etc. .
As per my opinion I like to select the Samsung galaxy note as it is more superior than both the phones. It provide attractive and wide display with the lots of android application. So If you are looking for such kind of impressive smart phones phones then I suggest you to select galaxy note.
